We invite high‑quality submissions that advance coating science and surface engineering—from fundamental mechanisms to deployable technologies. Journal of Coating technology and Innovation is a quarterly, open‑access, peer‑reviewed journal with rigorous double‑blind review and rapid, constructive editorial feedback.
Why Publish with Coating Technology Journal
- Global visibility: open access, DOIs for all articles, indexing in Google Scholar and major discovery platforms.
- Editorial strength: reviewers drawn from academia and industry; balanced assessments that improve manuscripts.
- Practical relevance: emphasis on data that map to real performance metrics and industrial specifications.
- Fair ethics: COPE‑aligned policies, clear data and image standards, and conflict‑of‑interest transparency.
Themes of Particular Interest
- Surface engineering and modification: PVD/CVD, magnetron sputtering, thermal and plasma spraying, sol‑gel and electrophoretic routes.
- Functional/protective coatings: corrosion, wear, oxidation; thermal and environmental barriers; EMI shielding and conductivity.
- Organic/waterborne/low‑VOC systems: powder and UV‑curable chemistries; bio‑based formulations and circularity.
- Smart and biomedical coatings: self‑healing, antifouling/antimicrobial, superhydrophobic/icephobic, controlled drug release.
- Characterization and durability: adhesion/scratch, tribology, electrochemistry, optical/thermal performance, accelerated aging.
- Modeling and data: computational design, inverse process optimization, machine‑learning‑assisted prediction and control.
Article Types
Original Research Articles • Review Articles • Mini‑Reviews • Short Communications • Technical Notes • Method Papers • Case Studies • Perspectives/Opinions • Editorials
Submission & Timeline
- Prepare manuscripts using the journal template (Word/LaTeX). Include parameter tables, instrument settings, and uncertainty.
- Submit via the Editorial Management System or email the editorial office. Initial checks in 48 hours; first decision target 4–6 weeks.
- APCs: standard rate with equitable discounts/waivers based on country income group and early‑career status.
How to Maximize Impact
- Write with replication in mind—others should be able to reproduce your results with the information provided.
- Benchmark against credible baselines and relevant standards; avoid over‑generalization.
- Include clear visuals (cross‑sections, spectra, operando sequences) with full metadata and scale bars.
- Conclude with pathways to scale‑up, reliability testing, and environmental/safety considerations.
